Big Prints :)

Things are finally coming together for my friends at the Falling Rock for their exterior wall project. We hatched this photo contest idea about a year ago and are working on the Mural Platform for the rest of the space. Our 9zero6 brainchild, Greta Berg of Company B Graphics printed these off this weekend, stuck them on the dibond and we just put them up. Pretty cool to see my photos so HUGE :)

Nice.

I always thought it would be pretty cool to split up one picture and frame it to look like windows looking upon a scene on the other side.:ylsmoke:

Very cool-how did you mat and seal them so they don't just fall apart?

Thanks for the comments.

These are printed on a vinyl material (PVC with rapid air adhesive).
Eco solvent ink, on 3mm aluminum boards (plastic core).

We seal the print with UV and call it good :)

Should last a long while.. 5- 6 years. Reality is we'll be rotating images every 6 months.

From here I'm having both images printed on high grade photo paper framed and matted, then having matted canvas prints of the same image done and stretched.
They'll be displayed side by side, with the canvas prints being done in HDR.

Hey Tom, first and foremost, these look awesome!

Second, check out Bayphoto Lab as they can print on Aluminum which has a UV Coating. A friend of mine just had a bunch of his photos enlarged pretty big for a display at an outdoor mall and they needed something that could stay outside year-round.

It's pricy, but man does it look amazing. Coolest part is you can clean them with any solvent you'd normally clean a window with. My sister in law just had a 11x14 done and it looks amazing. It's so glossy it almost looks wet.

We dumped water on it just to see what it would do and it just runs off exactly like it would if you were dumping it on a piece of aluminum

Just thought I'd give you another option incase you run into issues with these. They're too beautiful to have them ruined by the elements
